Description

Known as a shrine for cutting bad ties and forming good ones. The grounds — considered a power spot — feature a stone monument covered in paper talismans.
By crawling through the hole in this stone, you're said to sever bad connections and forge good ones. The Konpira Ema Museum, across from the worship hall, houses votive tablets from all over Japan, ranging from historically valuable antique ones to those by manga artists and celebrities.
There's also a gallery featuring Art Nouveau glasswork, including pieces by Emile Galle.
